I will NOT buy them tho’ x_x in case a Medicom Toy Real Action Heroes/ Project BM! Sebby and Ciel comes up. And you know… once you own your first Taeyang/Pullip/Dal, I think the new downward spiral of doll collecting begins. That’s fine if it is your main hobby but when you add that to figure collecting? O.M.G. NOooOooOoo… ~$$$~ *dies*

@ponytale: wooden doll (kokeshi) is okay but the geisha doll is quite a replica so her kimono is actually a real kimono in scaled size. her lips painted red.. Of course i grow up and ended up ohkay with the doll, after all it’s juz a doll. but i think somehow it affect me for thinking doll-collecting is not so fascinating. I like plushies. Doesn’t come cheap but cheaper than a doll.

i agree tht vistorian/gothic hold special appeal for Japanese audience.

@BOTH: Okay this is out of topic, reggae is quite popular genre in Japan. does anybody ever crossed with manga/anime with reggae theme?

I also dun really appreciate those geisha dolls until much older. I was given a round head wooden Japanese doll tho but I’ve lost it :P It was quite cute.

I’m bleeding together with the exchange rate ~$$$~ *shake head* and orders still have to be paid. Gaaah…

@fuuga: Kirill is such a cutie! :D yep, DIM dolls are very droolsome~ and they always dress up their dolls very well for the photo shoots. As for me, I’ll choose a teenager boy doll from their DOI and DOT range.

Emo Sebby XD hehehe I like that! I think you can buy red coloured eyes for the doll! Their special custom dolls are always sold out. I remember reading that customers sometimes have to wait more than 6 months for their dolls o_O I bought 2 smaller sized 1/6 doll heads and a body from Volks a couple of months back to experiment with face ups but I haven’t done anything yet. http://www.volks.co.jp/en/index.aspx

Kuroshitsuji is probably more popular than Nabari no Ou and I think the victorian/gothic theme has a special appeal to the Japanese audience. Makes merchandising easier too.

I think it’s related to my childhood..we have this geisha doll in a glass box (with wooden frame XD) it’s about 30 cm tall It’s vintage and i dunno why but when i was a little i sorta dislike the doll. plain white face as if real geisha and her white tiny fingers holding a fan. brrrr….

well i’m all grown up now and i think im going to take pic of tht item. gonna make some article about it anyway……

@J: Thanks for the compliment xD Mmm I think Pullip dolls are very delicate and need a lot more care and maintenance than figurines. I’ve only seen the dolls on display but never handled one before. There’s always a “DO NOT TOUCH” sign around and the shop owner’s eyes watching your every move lol~ Given the price, I thought they should be of better quality tho’

@Fuuga: xD glad you’re back! The awesome thing about Super Dolfie… you can make your own Sebby or Ciel! As long as your doll’s face is suitable that is… ^^ Which SD do you have your eye on? The price of each doll is *cough cough* steep indeed x_x so yeah I’ll stick to my current loves. I’m already living from paycheck to paycheck… adding a doll collection will break the camel’s (me ;P) back *dies*

You kill me inside a little with every update but i love it! XD This dollies are really cute! I would like to invest in one but…i would really like to get super dollfie one day…; Kuroshitsuji dollfie they need to make lol.

I think my main hobby would be artbook collecting + Figure collecting….if i add doll collecting i’d end up living in a cardboard box! XD

True! I agree. It’s a nice blog you have! :D I like yaoi, saiyuki, and etc.

I must say I owned a HELLO kitty pullip but it’s made out of horrible quality and expensive too ><. Luckily, I sold it to someone. You’re better off saving that money for vinyl figures and something else.
